Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike's better is Kawasaki H2 SX or Hayabhusa?
  • Both the bikes are good in their own forte. The third-gen Suzuki Hayabusa is now treading a different path than its predecessors, one that is more sporty and less hyper-touring. Its glorious purpose has changed from making you want to go fast in a straight line to make you want to go fast everywhere. It wants to attack corners, it expects you to hustle, it demands you to stay vigilant. It masks its weight well and is even a good commuter. On the other hand, Powering the motorcycle is the Ninja H2's second-generation supercharged in-line four engines that generate 200PS of power at 11,000rpm. However, Kawasaki claims that the motor has been tuned to offer a smoother delivery with better low to mid-range tractability. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -2021 Suzuki Hayabusa: Road Test Review.
Q. Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE or BMW s1000rr, which bike is best in terms of mileage, top speed, drag race and long race. Which bike of these will provide me better experience to buy?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. The H2 SX is powered by a supercharged, inline four-cylinder engine that generates 200PS of power at 11,000rpm. Kawasaki claims that the engine has been tuned to offer smooth power delivery and better low to mid-range tractability. On the other hand, BMW has also made the new bike a tour-de-force with respect to performance. While it isn’t as revolutionary as the first-generation bike, the new motorcycle is a well-rounded product and is among the best liter-class superbikes on sale in India and globally. The S 1000 RR is among the most friendly and accessible bike in its segment and it’s a good option for someone upgrading to a liter-class superbike. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which model of Goldwing is the best? The old model or the latest one - Gold Wing?
  • Latest one
  • We would recommend you to go for the latest one as The Gold Wing is all about relaxed touring. All of which would be incomplete without the electronic wizardry it boasts of. The 2018 version gets ride-by-wire and four riding modes, namely: Tour, Sport, Econ, and Rain, which a first in Gold Wing's history. There’s also keyless ignition, an electronically-controlled windscreen, music system, heated grips, and even an air-bag as an option. Let’s not forget hill start assist, ABS, and the much-needed cruise control. The Tour variant of the Gold Wing additionally gets heated seats (not really a boon on Indian roads, unless you’re somewhere up North), a trunk that has a keyless function, Honda’s version of traction control called the Honda Selectable Torque Control, and electronic rear suspension, which allows you to adjust it with a button instead of having to remove the fairing of the bike, to do so manually. Honda Gold Wing is powered by an 1833 cc engine. This Gold Wing engine generates a power of 126.4 PS @ 5500 rpm and a torque of 170 Nm @ 4500 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
